Browned Chicken Adobo

Browning is not usually done in Filipino cooking specially in cooking adobo. Maybe the reason why adobo is so popular is because of it’s simplicity by just throwing every ingredients in a pot and simmering it for a few hours. This recipe I have here is quite unique where you have to fry or brown the chicken meat first then cooking it adobo style.
